I finally visited The National Museum of Singapore on Saturday night, free-of-charge some more, for the exhibition of renowned Danish designer and architect Verner Panton (1926–1998)'s collected works. Very provoking and imaginative, full of bold shapes and bright colors. It was pity that we couldn't step into his innovative piece "Phantasy landscape Visiona 2" (the above) to have a feel.
The other interesting installation is The Crystal City by local artist Donna Ong. This beautiful and illusionary glass city is created using ordinary everyday objects such as crystal bottles, jars, cups, bowls and decanters. With amber lights shining through their faceted surfaces, it creates amorphous patterns that shift and change when the lights dim and brighten. Nice!Unfortunately it was raining on and off that night, which spoilt the open air flea market outside and inside the courtyard of SAM. All sheltered little corners were jammed with people, goods, carts, tables, hangers, whatever (you could imagine)..... waiting for the rain to stop. Bargains still went on under such circumstances, and I bought myself an expensive looking satin blouse for a mere SGD10. Who was I to complain ?
